Britta James: Shop
Leach Production potter Britta’s new work is a beautiful, functional range of soda ware. Find out more from Britta about her new pieces by clicking the button above.
There are a variety of slips and glazes, including: shino, two different ash glazes, copper, blue and amber glaze; orange, copper and titanium slips.
All pieces were fired at the Leach Pottery, spraying a sodium bicarbonate solution at about 1250°C, which reacts with the surface of the slips and clays to form a glaze. Soda firing results in pots that show a lot of variation, even across one piece; lively iridescent colours and textures which reflect the direct impact of flames and fumes.
